hello again

i posted before about the bios dying on my dell (vostro 200 mini tower), and after finding there was no way to fix it i decided i'd build a new computer, salvaging parts from my dell.

the first hurdle i need to come over however, is which motherboard i need. i have an intel E6550 (775 socket), 4 sticks of ram (2 dual sided, 2 single sided), a radeon hd 2600 series graphics card and not much of a budget..

i have found one motherboard so far, not sure if its exactly the right one to suit my needs. its the Gigabyte GA-EP31-DS3L Intel P31 (Socket 775)

If I was you I would search for something that is made by Asus. They are the most reliable motherboard manufacturer that I know. I have an asus motherboard in my 5 year old computer and I have never had a single problem with it.

Hang on. Before we continue are you trying to use the dell case for this new build?
